Pool of peers

The
Board of the Australia Council approves experienced and representative artists
to a Pool of Peers. These peers are the
first people staff contact when forming an assessment panel.

Peers are
appointed to the Pool for three years, or participate in six assessment
meetings, whichever limit is reached first. They can re-nominate to be a peer
two years after their term has ended.

Over 1200 artists and arts workers nominated to join the
Pool of Peers in 2016.

Council thanks them and acknowledges their commitment to the
arts. We received many more
nominations than there are opportunities for peers to assess. The balance of
representation across all areas is a key consideration for staff when
shortlisting peers for the Pool.
